| Skill | Interpretation | Target | Achieved |

The KPIs are still not achieved, but the game was largely non homogeneous. The 2 first sets were really difficult, with poor reception quality, low hitting efficiency, and very poor serving (Ace to Error ratio way too low). The however consistently improved as we played, and the figures for the final set are quite satisfactory.
We do have some trouble siding out, this is quite obvious. The fact that we score almost as much on low quality pass as on high quality pass indicates that we need to work on our hitting efficiency (even so we are facing a single block 46% of the time, we do not score as efficiently as we should in this context).
| Reception outcome/Point outcome | Point won | Point lost | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Error | 0% (0) | 100% (14) | 100% (14) |
| Negative/poor pass | 26% (9) | 74% (25) | 100% (34) |

| Total | 27% (28) | 73% (74) | 100% (102) |
There is a slight better chance of winning the chance when we pass well (37-33-26). We could aim for higher efficiency in the ideal scenario. This re-enforces the message communicated above.

| Total | 26% (23) | 52% (46) | 2% (2) | 19% (17) | 100% (88) |
The main message here is that the distribution of attack tempos is quite appropriate. The ratio of freeballs on the other hand is too important. Maybe we could adjust our footwork, or give ourselves more time to make sure we have a chance to hit the ball. Some setter/hitter adjustments are probably required too.

The jump float serve is the one which seems to provide the better serve efficiency. We will keep pushing in that direction at training.

Low use of middle players when the setter is front court. Adjustment required between the setter and the middle hitters. A few No-block by the opoosition team, meaning they made the choice not to block (in particular on high balls). They identified our hitting weakness, and exploited it. This can be addressed by hitting close to lines, and in seams between defenders.

Compared to the first game, much more zones have been reached. Which translated in a better hitting efficiency. We can probably aim for deeper corners, and insist in hitting more lines, especially from 4, when that is an option. A few more tips as well. Some real improvement in the angles chosen by the hitters, accross the board.

Distribution is well balanced in reception, less so in transition. The opposite (2 and 9) needs to make herself available to balance the offense to the two ends of the net. Given the height of the block, on 7% of hits being played off the block is not really much. We can try to take advantage of the block, by hitting its edges for example.
Comments
The defense gaps displayed in these plots are probably the result of not being used to balls being driven that fast to us. We are definitely getting better, but there is room for improvement especially when the opposition hit is coming from 4.
